Hello dear,

Well, I didn't got any such type of error before. I have not heard of that particular issue but if the leading '169' is the problem you will require to reconfigure your home network to use another address range. This will be a change to your wireless router rather than the iPod. You need to find out the documentation related to this and as well router and it should tell you how to change the IP address range.

You purchased the new device and I think you need not to worry more about that. You can solve the issue if you get my suggestions, there is something that you need to reset the device and your problem would gone away. But before going to reset the device settings you need to restart the device and come back with the fresh settings and try to connect the store and if you are not getting any access then you can choose second option and I hope, it can solve your issues...
